London Book Fair

Hi everyone, just preparing to leave for the Fair...our first visit, but we thought we'd check it out instead of Bologna this year. Hoping to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones too. This year we shall be promoting our 'writer & illustrator' venture...we produced a small sheet of ideas to get the ball rolling (see above).



My wife and i felt it was time we put some of our joint talents onto the page, we work so well together in life that it just seems the most natural progression. Anyway, don't just take our word for it, feel free to take a look at the sheet and get in touch if you like what you see...or see us at the fair...we'll be the ones looking lost probably.

Always and Forever

I have just finished this book for Gullane, however due to the controls on its promotion, i won't be able to show you any images. Keep coming back for further updates...and if Paula says so, some pictures. Work has already begun on their next title, 'For Everyone to Share', more details soon.

Current Projects

At the moment i am finishing off a couple of titles for Marks & Spencer.

I'm also working on a title for Gullane called 'Always and Forever', a story about two mice. Unfortunately i cannot show you any images for this title, until next year!

Each book has 14 spreads in total and feature some of the most detailed work i have done to date. Please note though that the images published are unfinished and were scanned prior to completion, to allow for comments.

'Why I love My Daddy'

Another spread from 'Why I Love My Mummy', also used for the cover.

Here are some recent images created for Harper Collins. This one is from the book 'Why I Love My Mummy'.

New Tails

My wife, Heidi and I are stepping closer to becoming a published 'package' (as Ed likes to call it). Over the past few months we have been creating original stories and characters, accompanied by sketches and colour artwork. These ideas are currently being promoted by Advocate and there are several interested parties.

Writing and illustrating our own books has always been a passion for us and hopefully soon we will see our names in print, side by side.

Updates

Apologies to those visiting my site looking for news, i've been busy...which isn't a bad thing.

The big news is that the sequel to 'Why I Love My Mummy' is already underway...looks like it will be a duel release. 'Why I Love My Daddy' features another 12+ spreads of animals, ranging from beavers, owls and hippos. Keep an eye out for images as they're completed and permission to post them is received.
